I think a lot of people are realizing what wonderful cars Z8's are and they are getting harder to find, especially good ones. I currently have requests from three different buyers to have me find them a car.

As modern cars get more complex, computerized and numb, the simplicity, honesty and directness of the Z8 becomes more appealing? Nahhh, most people who want one, probably have no idea what it is like to drive.

The last few years my uneducated, anecdotal observations are the chances of lower sales prices are from September/October through December/January (maybe fewer cars sell then) but seem to firm up February through August.

The sub 10K mile cars sell the fastest at the premium prices, but because the 20K mile cars seem to sit longer, I still think a price break occurs at 20K miles and again at 40K. This may shift to more miles as the cars age.

Still, maybe higher prices on lower mile cars will trickle down.

Condition, lots of owners and mysterious Carfax entries can trump all. One car with 20k miles may require little work and another with the same mileage may require $20k. Buyers are not stupid.

For the Board's info, this Z8 was 100% complete other than the cardboard box for the hardtop and cardboard box for the Motorola cell phone. The coffee table book is intact, but for a 2001 Titanium/Red Z8. The car is going to a great home. The owner has taken our recommendations for upgrades on this Z8 -we are installing Michelin Super Sports and a full 3M clear bra before she leaves next week.

I spoke with Eric from EAG at length on the phone and I can state quite comfortably that he is, like I am, an expert on these cars. I would feel comfortable buying a Z8 or any other BMW from him based upon his description. Unlike the Sports Car Company, EAG accurately represents the condition of their cars.

That sounds great, and feel free to post any other cars you have here, as we run the board as an open (free) resource for sellers and buyers.

Andrew - Thank you. Of all the boards I've experienced throughout the years, this board has the most useful information, educated owners and least amount of typical forum 'banter'. I look forward to working with many of the members on this board. We work hard to find the best possible vehicles in the marketplace and ensure they stay in deserving and loving homes. We sell all our vehicles with a "first right or refusal" policy and have bought all our cars back in 12 years of business.

Marty, Thank you. It has been a pleasure getting to know you. We are on the same page and it is a great to get someone on the phone that can speak the entire car language fluently. I appreciate the endorsement.
